No supercharger kit is made for the 2.9. The engine itself isn't really strong enough to hold boost from a supercharger. Just do the noble thing and swap in a 5.0, I did. Mine had around 350HP when I pulled it baout 2 months ago, when it goes back it should be closer to 450HP.

There isnt any kind of s/c or t/c kit available for the 2.9. There arent really many performance parts for the 2.9 period. But a 2.9 can be turbocharged. There is a guy that goes by JP that is on the 2.9 boards occasionally that has turbo'd a 2.9. And evidently it works pretty good. He's run it on a drag strip, and has had pretty favorable results.

Adam, I thought last time JP posted he said that the 2.9 did itself in with the boost it was receiving?

I dont know Brandon. I never saw anything about that, but I 'spose its possible. JP doenst post a whole lot anymore, and I dont pay as much attention to the 2.9 board as I used to, so I could have missed it.
